 Hear Ye, Hear Ye

• Teachers holding students accountable for their behavior with consistent responses.

• Staff advocating for students’ needs by collaborating with others to find possible interventions or strategies to help them.

• Students are celebrating their growth in reading and math.  I love hearing their excitement when they share with me.

• Students apologizing when they make a mistake and especially when someone else is hurt or feeling bad afterwards.

Nitty-Gritty

• Indoor Recess
• Please refer to Teresa’s email to prepare for indoor recess next week.  There is a better than average chance of having multiple indoor recesses next week.  Also, please keep in mind that the MS/HS gym floor has recently been refinished and no one is allowed on it without tennis shoes.  This means that students that are wearing boots will have to sit on the side.

• Device Updates
• Did you get your devices updated?  Today is the deadline!

• World Read-Aloud Day
• Brenda shared with us that Wednesday is World Read-Aloud Day.  If you would like me to read aloud to your class on Wednesday, please sign up for a time using my calendar.  HERE is the link.

• Assessment Reminder
• If you have any students that have not finished their mid-year district assessments, please have them finish them as soon as you can.  If you need assistance proctoring these assessments, please let me or your team know.  Also, all SAEBRS and mySAEBRS assessments should be done for all students in grades K-5 (2-5 for mySAEBRS).  If you need any help, please let me know.

The longer that I am in this career, the stranger the statements I say on a weekly basis.  Who else says things that you could swear would never be said in other careers!
